Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Kevin Hogan is starting at QB for the Broncos fourth preseason game, and Head Coach Vic Fangio stated that many of the starters will be on the sidelines. or play at a minimum in the first half, as the reserve and backup players will receive as much individual playing time during the course of tonight's game.

Those players continue to audition and earn roster spots and move up the Broncos depth chart to make the final 53-man regular season roster .

Denver has not played the the L.A. Rams in a scheduled regular season game at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum in nearly 47 years, the last game back on November 12, 1972, where the Broncos prevailed 16-10.

L.A. Rams also leads the all-time regular season series over our Broncos with their 9-5 record, six of those games as the St. Louis Rams, in games played between 1997 through 2014.

L.A. Rams won the first-ever preseason game over Denver by the score of 26-13 back on August 23, 1980. However, Denver defeated the L.A.

west/southwest winds at 7 miles per hour.

Great luck to the backup and reserve players, to both the Broncos and l.A. Rams, as they perform on the L.A. Coliseum field trying to make the cut to the final 53-man regular season roster, and 10-man practice squad, from the current 90-man training camp rosters.

Looking for:
- somebody on the Oline show something
- somebody step up as a punt returner
- inside linebackers Hollins & AJ Johnson make improvement and this team
- Walker, Winn or Purcell win the final DL spot

I feel for the people who bought tickets expecting to see starters for the half. I would be so bummed. People are already not going to the games and after this preseason I think the righting is on the wall. Bye bye preseason as we know it.
